For SNS leader and retired minister Darko Glišić, Belgrade University rector Vlada Đokić is "a person who was happy that 16 people died in Novi Sad, who hopes that someone else will die, because he wants to build his career on blood, on death, on tragedies." The rest of the progressives were similarly isolated under Vučić's command
Unscrupulous pursuit of the rector of the University of Belgrade Vladan Djokic continues with increased ferocity. The impression is created that the professor of urban planning is currently the number one enemy of the state, even bigger than Dragan Šolak.
The head of the executive board of the Serbian Progressive Party and the Minister for Public Investments of the Government of Serbia in the technical mandate, Darko Glišić, said on Friday, as a guest on TV Pink with Jovana Jeremić, that Đokić "would have to be in prison, if it were right and just."
"The morning after March 15 was difficult for Rector Đokić, because he realized that he had failed in his vile and disgusting plan against this country and young people in this country. This is the face of corruption," Glišić said, pointing to Đokić's photo.
"Djokic must be arrested"
And then he ordered: Đokić is "a man who plays with the destinies of tens of thousands of families and students who want to study and get an education"; "he knows how corrupt he was and how much he worked against his country, and he thought that on March 16 he would wake up as the Prime Minister or as someone who will decide who decides who will be the Prime Minister"; "if there is rule of law in this country, and the institutions do their job, Rector Đokić must be arrested, because he is playing with public money"...
Vučić's left-hand man in the SNS then assessed that Đokić's face was "the face of evil that disfigured the future for tens of thousands of students".
"This is the face that divides children"; "this is the face that makes fun of the tragedy in Novi Sad"; "This is a person who was happy that 16 people died in Novi Sad, who hopes that someone else will die, because he wants to build his career on blood, on death, on tragedies," Glišić fired a burst of insults.
"Đokić was recruited back in 1991."
So he went on to say that Đokić was "recruited back in 1991, when America imposed sanctions on us." He "argued" his claim by saying that Djokić was in America at the time - "and imagine he got his master's degree, and then they woke him up a few decades later, to finish some of his work, or which service had already taken him over."
"When you see how he is fidgeting now, it is clear to you that many secrets and many demons are tormenting this face of evil. We have good inspectors in the competent authorities and I am sure that just five minutes of talking with this man, when he is detained, would reveal many secrets," Glišić said in his call for an exorcism.
"Đokić threatens to beat students"
Glišić's cannonade of labeling and insults on Đokić's account is just a continuation of the government's long campaign against the rector of the University of Belgrade.
Recently, Đokić said on Radio and Television of Serbia that the state and the University are not in a good relationship "and not because of the University, but because of the state which in some way puts pressure on us in many spheres of our business and in many segments of our activities".
A few hours later, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who was in Brussels at the time, opened fire on Djokić and all university professors.
"Let's not get into the fact that the organizers of the protest are the rector and many deans, let's put all that aside, pretend we're crazy and don't know it and say it's not true... Did you work or didn't you? It'll be that you didn't. If you didn't work, you can't get paid, that you're rector a hundred more times and that you threaten us with student beatings or I don't even know what. Period," Vučić said at the time.
Insulting competition
The other members of the party are following in his footsteps, so the President of the Assembly of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, assessed that behind the suspension of work at the faculties "stands the deans and rectors, and above all the rector of the University of Belgrade, Vladan Đokić, and not "student blockaders", because Đokić and the deans "don't even know how many students are in the plenum, nor do they care who those students are".
Before that, Brnabić accused Đokić of violating the Constitution and laws and of "discriminating against students who want to return to classes and violating the freedom of the media and citizens' right to information."
She accused Đokić and the extended rector's collegium of "bowing down before totalitarian plenums" and of standing up to protect "only the blocking students".
SNS MP and lawyer Vladimir Đukanović in an editorial for "Kurir" demanded criminal responsibility for Đokić.
"Rector Vladan Đokić has committed a number of criminal acts since the blockades began. I hope that, as the essential organizer of the blockade, he will be held criminally accountable and will be arrested," Đukanović wrote.
A few days ago, the owner of TV Pink Željko Mitrović invited Đokić to a televised duel and asked him to take an "intelligence test, to check who manages our universities".
Mitrović called Đokić and the university professors "a small gang that, for the sake of personal interests, delivers students, like a crate of apples, to those who paid heavily for it."
The regulation on the import of Russian gas proposed by the European Union does not apply to countries that are not its members, so Serbia will be able to continue importing, but it will not be allowed to end up in Hungary.
Since Aleksandar Vučić publicly announced that he had defeated the "colored revolution", there is great fear in the government to what extent the Vidovdan protest called by the students could make it meaningless. That's why they go hard, with soles, insults and lies, the way they do best
